Ahh… hmmm. There were circumstances but to make it sound like he was not at fault for anything is a bit over the top.
Elliott snubbed the opportunity to go to Germany and well, if he didn’t realize on June 4th that he has a new manager to impress, then he can’t be helped.
Aston Villa are a bigger draw than Leipzig. People could now be saying the opposite thing - He snubbed Villa and it shows a lack of ambition and belief.
We all try to make educated decisions in life and then rely on a touch of fortune.
One can rarely undo 2 years of a lack of playing time with the click of the fingers.
He returned early to preseason, I don’t think it is a lack of desire or willingness to work.
I don’t get why he wouldn’t chose Villa. During Klopps time he played very well when called upon so he should have been dropping down to what could be seen as a lesser team within the same league in order to get regular football.
